Nope, your body is producing a hormone that turns fat into baby power:) Now if you are on insulin, I would defnately be extra careful about letting your BCL fall and then have to take injections to balance it. Watch your sugar and carb intake very carefully, log everything you eat, and test frequently. Some foods may be causing you to bottom out after a surge of sugar. Like if you get up eat cereal and two hours later you have hit a low, switch your breakast to eggs or some other protien. If your are eating a protein rich diet, start adding whole grain toast to your meals to provide slow acting carbs. But keep a log for a few weeks and compare your bad days to your good. Also write down how active you are, if you are just doing to much for your caloric intake, eat more snacks:)
